While ruling as king of Iran, Narseh had a [[rock relief]] carved at [[Naqsh-e Rostam]], between the burial site of the [[Achaemenid]] kings [[Darius the Great]] ({{reign|522|486 BC}}) and [[Xerxes I]] ({{reign|486|465 BC}}).{{sfn|Canepa|2018|p=265}}{{sfn|Weber|2016}} The relief depicts an investiture scene, with Narseh, wearing a lamellar crown, surrounded by his family. Narseh is receiving the ring of kingship from a female figure that is frequently assumed to be the goddess [[Anahita]]. However, some scholars have suggested that this might be his queen, [[Shapurdukhtak of Sakastan|Shapurdukhtak]].{{sfn|Weber|2016}}{{sfn|Brosius|2000}} The figure standing behind Narseh is most likely the crown prince [[Hormizd II|Hormizd]], due to his cap being the form of that of an animal [[protome]], which was typically worn by Sasanian heirs.{{sfn|Shahbazi|2004|pp=464–465}}
